•
The appliance’s energy consumption and efficient operation are affected by the
room temperature.
•
The appliance must be installed in such a way that the power outlet is accessible.
•
Make sure after installing it that it is not resting on its power cable.
•
Before plugging the appliance in to the electrical outlet for the first time, please
let the appliance rest for two hours if the appliance was transported in the upright
position, or 24 hours if the appliance was transported in the horizontal position.
This is to allow the refrigerant gas to go back down into the compressor. Not
respecting this waiting period may damage the compressor.
Climate class
Only install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature corresponds
to the climate class for which it was designed (see table below).
The climate class is on the rating plate located on the outside of the appliance. The
table below shows the correct room temperature for each climate class:
Below and above the indicated ambient temperature values, the performance of your
appliance may be affected and food may spoil.
Sufficient ventilation
•
Make sure that air can always circulate freely around the appliance.
•
To ensure proper operation of your appliance, do not obstruct the vents and leave
sufficient space for air to flow around the appliance. Refer to the diagrams opposite.
Leave a gap of 75 mm between the back of the appliance and the wall, 100 mm above
the appliance or any kitchen equipment placed above it and 25 mm on each side. You
must be able to open the door through an angle of 160°.
•
If your appliance is to be installed next to another refrigerator or freezer, make sure the
appliances are not touching each other. This is to prevent condensation from forming
on the outside.
